HADDOCK MARGARITA WITH PAN ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• For the fish: Dredge the fish on both sides in the flour. Then, beat the eggs in a bowl using a fork or whisk. Take a saute pan and coat the bottom of the pan with the olive oil, so it is fully covered. Then turn the heat on medium, being careful to not let the oil burn. Splash in a speck of the egg batter to see if the oil is hot enough; the egg will puff up when the oil is ready. At this point, dip the dredged fish into the beaten egg, making sure to cover both sides well, and then place in the saute pan with the hot oil. Let the fish cook on each side until golden brown; be careful not to burn fish in the hot oil. Also, please note that the fish is very tender and breaks easily, so use caution when flipping the fish with a metal spatula or tongs.
• For the margarita sauce: In another saute pan, add half of the butter, the chicken stock, the wine, pinch of salt and pepper, and squeeze in three-quarters of the fresh lemon. Make sure to save a few lemon wheels for garnish and set aside. Simmer the sauce for several minutes on medium heat, and then add the cooked fish to the sauce and let that simmer on low heat for a couple of minutes more. This is to infuse the sauce flavor with the egg-battered fish.
• For the potatoes: Take the potatoes and cut into cubes. Par-cook them by boiling them in a small pot of water until they begin to soften, but still retain some firmness. In another saute pan over medium-low heat, coat the bottom of the pan with the olive oil and add the butter. Once the butter and olive oil have joined together, add the potatoes to the mixture and turn the heat to medium-high. Next, add the paprika, salt and pepper to taste. Stir the potatoes so that they are all coated evenly with the mixture. Taste one of the potatoes to know when they are finished cooking (they should be slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside). Place the cooked potatoes in a bowl and strain any excess oil from the potatoes. Garnish the potatoes with the parsley and finish with a pinch of table salt.
• Plate the fish from the margarita sauce, then pour just a bit of the sauce over the fish to highlight the bottom of the plate surrounding the fish. Pour the remaining sauce into a small cup for dipping the fish and/or potatoes. Garnish the top of the fish pieces with 2 thinly sliced lemon wheels and a parsley sprig.

ROASTED POTATOES & HADDOCK PUTTANESCA RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium pot over low heat. Add garlic and anchovies; cook, stirring frequently to break up anchovies, until garlic is soft but not browned, 3-4 minutes. Add red pepper flakes; cook until fragrant, about 20 seconds. Add tomato purée, increase heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, 15-20 minutes. Stir in olives; simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 425°F. Place a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet. Toss 1 tablespoon oil, potatoes, shallots, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl to coat. Spread in a single layer on prepared rack. Roast on top oven rack for 18 minutes. Keep in oven. Place fish in an 8x8x2" glass baking dish. Drizzle with remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on bottom oven rack and roast with potatoes until fish is just opaque in center, potatoes are golden brown and tender, and shallots are crispy, about 7 minutes longer. Place potatoes, shallots, and fish on a platter in an even layer. Spoon 1 1/2 cups puttanesca over (reserve remaining sauce for another use); garnish with caper berries and parsley.

ROAST HADDOCK FILLET WITH SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Carefully pick over the haddock fillets, making sure there are no bones in them. Set the fish aside.
• Saute the scallions and garlic in the oil for five minutes. Add the bacon and cook it until it and the garlic are lightly browned. Add the chicken stock and cook over high heat until it has been reduced to half a cup (about 15 minutes) and the garlic cloves are soft.
• Meanwhile preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Slice the potatoes very thin (you will need enough to cover the surface of the fish fillets). If necessary, slice more later if you find you have not done enough. Toss the slices in the olive oil.
• Peel the garlic cloves. Spread the garlic-bacon mixture over the bottom of a large heavy-bottom baking pan. Lay the fish fillets skin side down on top. Sprinkle with thyme, salt and pepper. Arrange the potatoes in barely overlapping layers on top of the fish fillets. Season with salt and pepper and bake, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
